Visit Beloit

In celebration of the summer solstice and to showcase the musical talent in Beloit while uplifting the community, the fourth annual Make Music Day - Beloit will be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026, as part of a free, citywide, and global event. Beloit will come alive with music in the streets, parks, offices, schools, and unique venues. Music will be performed by anyone and enjoyed by everyone.

First originating in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, it has expanded to more than 1,000 cities across 120 countries. Beloit is thrilled to participate in the music event as part of the lineup of cities across the world that offer performances. Wisconsin, once again, has more cities participating in Make Music Day than any other U.S. state.

Musicians of all styles, ages, and talent levels are invited to register to perform. Venues can also offer their spaces at no cost. Just register, and we’ll take care of the musician-venue matchmaking.

Musicians and venues can register until May 29 at www.makemusicday.org/beloit.

A full list of performances can be seen on/after June 5 at www.makemusicday.org/beloit.

Beloit will welcome the kubb community back to Beloit for the 2026 Beloit Kubb Open presented by Beepa’s. Traditionally, the event has hosted 42 teams from seven states. All skill levels are invited to compete to win cash prizes where the payout has averaged more than $1,100 per tournament.

The event is owned and managed by Visit Beloit with assistance from event director, Dan Ivanuck. Organizers are excited to welcome players back to Beloit for the twelfth year of kubb action and to showcase everything the community has to offer for visitors.

Teams consist of two players and can be comprised of any age or gender. Spectators are welcome to spend the day with us and cheer on the teams.
